Have you seen the 2015 Bombtrack Arise? It's the ultimate commuter bike. It has fat 700 x 38c tyres to soak up the bumps. If your adventure leads you off the beaten track this bike will handle it with ease. Ride it single speed during winter to protect your precious drivetrain. Come summer time you can convert it to a geared bike thanks to It's rear derailleur hanger and cassette hub. http://www.fixedgearfrenzy.com/bombtrack-bicycles
